No..........

Explanation:

To a first approximation, the particles in ammonium chloride are non-molecular. The substance is an ionic solid, containing discrete positive and negative ions held together by reasonably strong electrostatic forces (I say #"reasonably"# because the ammonium ion is NOT a point charge).
